legion48 16 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 That's a real nice image Steve. :-) Link to post Share on other sites
centroid 19 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Thought we'd finished with old M31 for this season, but obviously not, and an excellent image to show for it.Nice work Steve!!Dave Link to post Share on other sites
Vega 140 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 WOW Steve.... what are you trying to do, give Rob Gendler a run for his money ? One or two dust lanes in there . Stunning... a real POW contender and still looks amazing at such high resolution.Matt Link to post Share on other sites
SteveL 718 Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 I`ve been after M31 since I got the Hyperstar, but its been windy or cloudy... or both... finally, i can put this one to rest for a while Link to post Share on other sites
dogfish 2 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Steve, That's a real cracker. I don't think I've ever seen so many stars in the background of M31 before. It's now gracing my desktop.Cheers, Martin Link to post Share on other sites

Chrisj 0 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Wonderful image. Well done! First time I have seen such a 3D effect. There is a sort of depth of field in your image. Link to post Share on other sites
